Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, has been participating in UNESCO ministerial panel discussions this week on “Re-shaping digital policies for development.” A government press release says the exchange of ideas reinforces the need for a global digital conversation with governments, the private sector, creators and consumers “because the digital world knows no boundaries.” Joly is reportedly focused on making the case for mandatory, cultural contributions from companies like Netflix in compliance with local content regulations. The panel was held during the 10th ordinary session of the Intergovernmental Committee responsible for the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
